This is a great place to see what the off-road hype is all about and make some friends all while enjoying a pleasant, light ride.The gear: Please come prepared with an off-road ready bike in safe, working condition. This means the tires are a little wider (we recommend a minimum of 32mm wide), ideally you've got some gears, and suspension (shocks) are useful but not required.
